Bacterial Genomes: Disease Outbreaks and Antimicrobial Resistance

9 March - 12 July 2020

Bacterial Genomes: Disease Outbreaks and Antimicrobial Resistancehttps://coursesandconferences.wellcomegenomecampus.org/our-events/bacterial-genomes-disease-outbreaks-amr-online-mar20/https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/bacterial-genomes-disease-outbreaks-and-antimicrobial-resistance-9b6d1f32-b676-422b-93fe-ad935f02bf74# Overview
* **Duration**: 3 weeks, 3 hours per week
* Free
* Certificate of achievement available on satisfactory completion
* **CPD Approval**: Royal College of Pathologists (9 credits), Royal College of Nursing (9 credits)
* **Start Date**: The course is run ‘live’ for 3 weeks from the start date above. Once this period is over there will be no live monitoring of the forums, but you can still join and complete the course during the remaining period.
### Why join the course?
The increase in resistance of harmful bacteria to antibiotics is a major global threat to health. Here we explore bacterial genomes and the use of genome sequencing to identify and track these drug resistant bacteria. Join us to discover how genome research is helping scientists and healthcare professionals track disease outbreaks and prevent the rise of antibiotic resistant ‘superbugs’.
### Who is the course for?
This course will be of interest to scientists, healthcare professionals, biomedical researchers and bioinformaticians. The course offers all learners an opportunity to learn about genomes, disease, and antimicrobial resistance. You require no previous knowledge of genome science to complete the course.
### What do people say about this course?
"_I would definitely point students to this resource. Text, videos, and figures were all very well done._" Pablo Tsukayama, Assistant Professor of Microbiology "_A highlight of the course was the introduction to whole genome sequencing – new information for me._" Christine Laws, Medical Doctor “_Exchanging genetic information quickly throughout the world is clearly going to revolutionise the ability to combat disease._” Prue van der Hoorn, Artist

Bacterial Genomes: From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformatics

20 April - 16 August 2020

Bacterial Genomes: From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformaticshttps://coursesandconferences.wellcomegenomecampus.org/our-events/bacterial-genomes-dna-protein-function-bioinformatics-online-aug19/https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/bacterial-genomes-from-dna-to-protein-function-using-bioinformatics-92c9e794-2186-4766-8435-3273e0756322# Overview
* **Duration**: 2 weeks, 5 hours per week
* Free

### Why join the course?
Join us in our quest to discover what makes microbes dangerous. Use bioinformatics to probe genomes, to explore and represent DNA and protein sequences. Then, use databases to find protein sequences’ conserved domains and investigate their functions.
### Who is the course for?
The course will be of interest to undergraduates, post-graduates, researchers, bioinformaticians, biomedical researchers, microbiologists, healthcare professionals and all those who are interested in learning about the underlying mechanisms of bacterial disease, DNA sequences and protein data, or how to use online analytical tools to probe genomes.
The topics covered in this course are applicable to the genomes of all organisms. It is not essential to have previous knowledge or experience in bioinformatics. Scientific terminology is explained. The opportunity to use online computational tools in the context of bacterial genomes will also be of interest to teachers and their 16-18-year-old science and computing students.
